Caleb Williams, the Bears’ offense shines in victory over the Jaguars

The Bears’ defense delivered another strong performance, limiting the Jaguars to 278 yards while also generating two takeaways and four sacks.

D’Andre Swift had another outstanding game, rushing for 91 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries and catching four passes for 28 yards. Kmet led the Bears with five catches for 70 yards, including TD receptions of 31 and 2 yards.

After the Jaguars (1-5) took a 3-0 lead on Cam Little’s 30-yard field goal on their first possession of the game, the Bears responded early in the second quarter.

Williams threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Kmet to give the Bears a 7-3 lead with 11:07 left in the first half. After faking a pass left and then right, Williams threw across the middle to Kmet, who deflected a tackle and then dragged another defender into the end zone while stretching the ball across the goal line.

On their next possession, the Bears advanced from their own 5 to the Jaguars’ 41, highlighted by Williams’ 28-yard pass to Rome Odunze. But on third-and-1, Williams’ deep pass to Moore was intercepted by safety Andre Cisco at the 7.

The Bears extended their lead to 14-3 on Williams’ 2-yard touchdown pass to Kmet with :13 left in the first half. Their second TD connection of the game capped an impressive 10-play, 85-yard drive that included Williams scrambles of 23 and 19 yards and Williams’ 10-yard pass to Allen on third-and-5.

After being held to seven yards in the first quarter, the Bears gained 216 yards in the second. In the first half, Williams completed 12 of 15 passes for 128 yards with two touchdowns.

On the Jaguars’ first play of the second half, TJ Edwards picked off the ball from tight end Evan Engram on a 24-yard reception and Elijah Hicks returned the fumble 19 yards to the Jacksonville 41.

The Bears converted the takeaway when Williams fired a 9-yard touchdown pass to Allen on third-and-goal, extending the lead to 21-3 with 11:22 left in the third quarter. The TD came after Allen’s 11-yard reception on third-and-8 kept the drive alive and Swift gained 19 yards with a screen pass to the 9.

The Jaguars cut the deficit to 21-10 when Trevor Lawrence sent a 21-yard touchdown pass to receiver Gabe Davis midway through the third quarter.

The Bears answered when Williams threw his fourth TD pass of the game and threw the second behind Allen, a 3-yarder with a perfect fade pattern to make the score 28-10 on the first play of the fourth quarter.

The defense then gained its second advantage when Josh Blackwell, in the game at nickel after Kyler Gordon was sidelined with a hamstring injury, intercepted Lawrence over the middle and returned the ball from 10 yards to the Jaguars’ 36 yards.

The Bears took advantage of the turnover and extended their lead to 35-10 on Swift’s 1-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter.

Lawrence followed with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Davis to make it 35-16 with 6:58 left.

Fresh off their third straight win, the Bears head into their bye week before returning to action on November 27th against the Commanders in Washington.
